The third part.
[verse 21] My servant David I appoint,
whom I have searched out:
And with my holy oyl anoint
him king of all the rout.
[verse 22] For why? my hand is ready still
with him for to remain:
And with mine arm also I will
him strengthen and sustain.
[verse 23] The enemie•• shall not him oppress,
they shall him not devour:
Ne yet the sons of wickedness
on him shall have no power:
[verse 24] His foes likewise I will destroy
before his face in fight:
And those that hate him I will plague,
and strike them with my might.
[verse 25] My truth and mercy eke withall
shall still upon him lie:
And in my Name his horn eke shall
be listed up on high.
[verse 26] His kingdom I will set to be
upon the sea and land:
And eke the running flouds shall he
embrace with his right hand.
[verse 27] He shall depend with all his heart
on me, and thus shall say,
My Father and my God thou art,
my rock of health and stay.
[verse 28] As my first-born I will him take
of all on earth that springs:
His might and honour I will make
above all earthly kings.
[verse 29] My mercy shall be with him still,
as I my self have told:
My faithful covenant to fulfil
my mercy I will hold.
[verse 30] And eke his seed I will sustain
for ever strong and sure:
So that his seat shall still remain
while heaven doth endure.
